Companies with Increasing Price and Volume Chris, I liked your suggestion; I can see how such a screen would be very useful to a short-term trader. I had a difficult time matching your suggestions to the available variables, but I did come up with this screen: First I selected companies whose average price has been consistently increasing for the past 200 days. This resulting in 600 companies being selected. I then added criteria to only select companies whose volume has been increasing. This reduced the list to 290 companies. Now it gets tricky. I selected companies whose price change yesterday was greater than the change in average 10-day price and average 20-day price. This resulted in the following screen.
